What is your favorite book?

Do you have a favorite book? It can be any kind of book, really. Fiction, non-fiction. Childrens (I know that suits most of you).

Catch 22. Funniest piece of literature ever written.

I never really have an answer for this question, but by default I'll nominate The Indian in the Cupboard just because.

You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers is a good book too (Miakal, I saw him on Conan that night, he wasn't as brash as he is in his writing). And I just read In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje, but it was for class and I didn't get a real kick out of the story. Really beautifully written though, with the language and poetics.

Indian in the Cupboard is actually pretty good.

I started reading Catch 22 in the 8th grade and said fuck it.

Eggers is too much of a goober to be brash. He looked like he was going to piss himself on Conan.

I love that book.

Dahl is genius.

I have a lot of kid books and people just don't understand.

I touch boys.

I only read Popcorn novels really, like Lee Child and Dan Brown.

My favourite three

1.) Tripware by Lee Child
2.) Angels and Demons/Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
3.) Raising Pheonix by Kyle Mills.
